Conservatives (Land of Hope and Glory)

Landed gentry, nobles, toffs and billionaires,
We will make sure money stays with you and your heirs.
Tighter still and tighter shall our budgets be set,
Poorer folk don’t matter, they aren’t in our set,
Dosh makes you important, others we’ll forget!

Labour (The Red Flag)

The Party flag is palest pink,
Not near as red as others think,
We’ll leave the workers high and dry,
The middle class to pacify.

We’ll waffle about social care.
Cost of living, contracts fair.
We’ll tinker with things here and there,
But change society not a hair.

Reform UK (Beer Barrel Polka)

Roll out the barrel, we’ll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel, we’ve got Sunak on the run
Zing boom tararrel, ring out a song of good cheer
Now’s the time to roll out more barrels, ‘cos Nigel’s here!
